2nd gear grumble on the way down the box - Land Rovers Only

Jay · 10-22-2005, 11:09 AM

Hello there every1, new to this site and indeed new to Land Rovers.
I have a 1993 Land Rover Discovery 2.5 TDI, and 2nd gear on the way down the box grumbles when engaged, once it in it’s fine. From 1st too 2nd if I change real slowly its ok but if I want to change quick it grumbles again.
I’ve been told it’s the selector and is fixable in situe.any1 ever done this fix? How much will it cost if I do it myself? How difficult is it & will I get dirty hands

Cheers folks.

Jay - get yourself a Haynes manual and read over the section on transmissions. Even if you do not do the work yourself, you'll have some idea of what is involved in the repair. BTW, I can guarantee you'll get your hands dirty and probably end up bleeding as well. Children will marvel at your stories and scars 40 years from now...

could be worn shift fork wearing out or rubbing. Not sure unless you take it apart.
